To be or not to be

My fingers are burning
My patience is gone
Is this the price of learning
Network engineering on my own?

Had I instead chosen T568A
Would it have been a child’s play?
Nay, ended up with a crossover cable, I would have
Becoming crazy, becoming mad
Suitable for patching similar devices
Unfit for my goals, unrewarding of my sacrifices

    Thanks for the advice! I think I need to cut out more of the plastic inner guide/insulation, because no matter how hard I massage the wires and pinch down on them, they won’t stay put, and I’m guessing that the + shapes inner guide/separator or whatever is not allowing me to form them to my liking.

      If they’re consistently getting caught on the guides inside the rj45, that’s an indication that your cutting tool may be dull and you’re smushing the wires.

        Are there supposed to be rail-like guides/indentations inside the rj45 that help the individual wires stay in place while they are being crimped/pierced by the contacts?
